Frequently Asked Questions
In the US and Canada, DoorDash Basic plans start with a 7-day free trial, and DoorDash Plus and Premier plans start with a 30-day free trial.

After the trial, there is a weekly tablet fee of $6 in the US, $3 in Canada, and $0 in Australia. Point of sale integrations are free.
After your free trial, you'll be enrolled at the commission and tablet fees indicated in your "Merchant Signup Sheet."

*Pricing plans (Basic, Plus, Premier) are available for restaurants with 75 or fewer locations in Canada or the US.
You can change your plan any time in the Merchant Portal. Plans may take 5 business days to process changes, so it is not feasible to change your plan more often than about one time per week.

DoorDash charges fees and commission rates to bring value to your business and community. Here are some of the items they cover:
Advertising and marketing: Being on the DoorDash app puts your business in front of new customers every day.
Delivery driver costs: We empower our community of Dashers, who make every delivery possible by providing them flexible earning opportunities with competitive local pay, promotional pay, 24/7 support, third party insurance, and exclusive discounts. Learn more about the Dasher Community at Dasher Central.
Customer service and support for consumers, merchants, and Dashers: Customers, business owners, and Dashers all have unique needs that often need addressing immediately. When something goes wrong with an order, we have a 24/7/365 team of people ready to help solve customer issues, so they'll continue to order from your business.
Technology platform costs: It takes a worldwide, world-class logistics, engineering, coding, marketing, and operations team to keep the DoorDash app and website, our Merchant Portal and tablet, and our Dasher app running. We hire the best and expect the best from our team.
Credit card processing: All DoorDash offerings include credit card processing, so you have less to worry about when it comes to overhead expenses.
